FYI...I wanted to use BetterTouchTool to use keyboard gestures to switch between my spaces. I have a Windows 7 VM running in Parallels and wanted an easy way to switch between my Mac and Windows. When I ran BTT for the first time, it gave me a message that there are conflicts with Parallels that cause keystroke losses and the developer hasn't been able to solve for this. MagicPrefs works great though.

Not sure it's possible with the stock software. MagicPrefs and Better Touch Tool let you define trackpad gestures to do pretty much anything, including mapping them to the key sequences for switching between spaces (by default Cmd + arrow keys).

Warp is a preference pane that allows
you to use the mouse to switch between
Spaces rather than using the keyboard.

Warp offers the ability to display a
live preview of a space when you move
the mouse to the edge of the screen,
allowing you to see what you have on
another space before actually
switching to it. Clicking the preview
will then warp you to that space.
(Enable this feature by checking the
option "Click screen edge to Warp" in
Warp's preference pane)
